The Fifth amendment
The Fifth amendment also protects criminal defendants from having to testify if they may incriminate themselves through testimony. A witness may "plead the Fifth" and not answer if the witness believes answering the question may be self-incriminatory.
The amendment reads:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put on jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Think beyond What were the reasons for the decline of the Mughals?

Anton [14]

Answer:

<h3>Incompetent successors, administration and policy failure, rise of regional empires, establishment of British East India Company.</h3>

Explanation:

The Mughal Empire declined due to a number of reasons:

Incompetent successors: After the death of Aurangzeb, the empire failed to yield competent rulers to save the already failing empire. The new rulers couldn't manage the vast empire which subsequently led to its failure.
Administration and policy failure: Over time, the rulers couldn't control the rising feudal lords, also known as jagirdars, who gained power and wealth from the failing administrative system of the empire.
Rise of regional empires: Another major problem which the Mughals faced was the rise of powerful regional empires such as the <u>Marathas </u>from the South.
Establishment of British East India Company: The East India Company gave the final blow to the Mughal empire with its strong military force and strategic policies.
